Hornets was in a fukked up position tho. Had they let Gordon walk then they basically traded CP3 for nothing when they could've had much more via the Laker trade. If they match the offer they gotta give a guy the max that doesn't like living in New Orleans. There was no middle ground. They couldn't trade him because he wasn't signed, they can't trade him now because he's coming off a knee injury and he's faking, plus no team besides Phoenix will give him the max. He should've told them earlier he didn't want to be there, like in January.

And he cant even be traded there for a year


shyts all fukked up

PHX's offer was a PR move to prove the office was down to spend money, everyone knew EG was gettin matched. We did NO a favor. They can bask in it!

We gonna throw that max at Monta Ellis this offseason now when he opts out :lawd:

Who gives a shyt if they don't match the offer sheet and let the guy who got traded for CP3 walk if they unequivocally know that he is damaged goods? They could of easily drafted Jeremy Lamb instead of Rivers.

Damaged goods? Plenty of ppl come back from knee surgery's and ball. Had they known EG would pull this shyt im sure they would've drafted a 2 guard. They had no idea he'd pull this shyt until he went to Phoenix and seen their offer. It's not like Phoenix had the better roster because Davis is probably better than any Sun already. I think EG just wanna live in Phoenix instead of New Orleans.

Who wanna bet we beat Memphis tommorow? Sac gon destroy Minny tonight btw.

Appreciate the concern. Good to know when a fan of a team is apprehensive of another team.


And no destruction tonight. They play tomorrow. :ufdup:

Thought yall played tonight. And yes I have a vested interest in yall losing. The more games you win against teams that won't make the playoffs lowers our chances of getting in. We know Sac won't get in so they need to beat yall and with no Rubio or Love they should.

But with the money these guys make they can live anywhere in the US.. and its not like baseball where they play in the summer. The NBA is in the wintertime and plus they're on the road half the season so he's not technically 'locked down' in N.O 24/7. He can live in the city of his liking during the offseason(summertime). He's in New Orleans one-third of the year, on the road for a third of the year, then where ever he wants for the other third. whether you're in Utah, OKC, Memphis, New Orleans, etc you're still good imo :ehh:

What you say makes perfect sense. The problem is nba cats don't see it that way. If they did Minny and Cleveland wouldn't have to overpay to get good players to sign there. If they thought that way Utah and San Antonio would be players in free agency. Small market teams don't stand a chance in free agency.

That's nice, because I have zero vested in y'all at the moment. I'm strictly just concerned about the division teams for now until, you know, games get played, let alone a bunch of em.

That doesn't make sense actually. Would you rather live in your preferred city 33% of the time or 66% of the time?
